Examples

Here is a simple example PHP script using the tokenizer that
will read in a PHP file, strip all comments from the source
and print the pure code only.

Example #1 Strip comments with the tokenizer

<?php/** T_ML_COMMENT does not exist in PHP 5.* The following three lines define it in order to* preserve backwards compatibility.** The next two lines define the PHP 5 only T_DOC_COMMENT,* which we will mask as T_ML_COMMENT for PHP 4.*/if (!defined('T_ML_COMMENT')) {define('T_ML_COMMENT', T_COMMENT);} else {define('T_DOC_COMMENT', T_ML_COMMENT);}
